Careem and OSN announced a strategic partnership May 22. The partnership promises to deliver enhanced benefits to customers of both companies throughout the MENA.

The partnership is part of Careem’s continued efforts to add current and future value to its customers. “OSN and Careem share similar values in terms of how we approach our business,” said Mudassir Sheikha, cofounder and CEO at Careem.”We consider OSN as a valued addition to our growing list of strategic partners in the region and we look forward to working closely with them to offer more rewarding experiences for our customers.”

Martin Stewart, CEO of OSN, said: “We are focused on creating continuous value for our subscribers through our exclusive content and through partnerships”.

With the new partnership, OSN subscribers who newly register with Careem will receive a 15 percent discount on their first five rides, while Careem customers who are first-time subscribers to OSN will receive 10 percent discount on its Entertainment Getstarted Pack as well as a supplementary pack of their choosing. In addition Careem clients will also be able to enjoy an in ride video entertainment experience with a wide variety of programs such as TV shows, sports broadcasts and kids shows.

The two Dubai headquartered companies are also working together together to offer OSN subscribers the option to pay their bill through Careem Pay when it becomes available later this year.
